values

it takes a while to realize the values of things, but then you realize things don't have value any way.

now that's values

beauty in dirt

creating. art. product. the people who see the small things.

that's all we are. designers, artists, we are the ones who see the little things.
weeds as the most beautiful thing on earth, and the next minute its the bug on the weeds.

we see the gravel in the concrete and the sparkle in the broken beer bottle in the street.

the wonder in chipped paint, and the sorrow in a perfectly kept yard.

the sadness in an overly cleaned house.

the love in lumpy cookies.

the love in a picture thoughtfully done in macaroni.

the love in a doodle.

the joy in a found lost note.

pulling it all together...

being able to let a song a move you.
move you to dance.
move you to cry.
move you to make it into a drawing.
move you to make it into 20 drawings.
move you to cry when you see the drawing over a year later.
move you to remember things you you've forgotten for years.

relax. see the small things. love them. thats what its all about.

its like licking the mixers after baking a cake, or making a necklace out of clover flowers.

slow down.
love it all.
see it all.
don't worry about understanding.

take it in.
love.
life.

junk

"motor cars, handle bars
bicycles for two
broken hearted jubilee

Parachutes, Army Boots
Sleeping Bags for Two
Sentimental Jamboree

buy buy
says sign in the shop window
why why
says the junk in the yard

candlesticks, building bricks
something old and new
memories for you and me"

salvation army today had everything on sale for 99 cents...

my my this song is going to be a nice painting when summer rolls around.

listing lists to make lists

brains working in lists. listing to make lists.
listing lists. trying to motivate.
motivating by listing.

lists on hands
lists on faces from sleeping on hands
lists on doors
lists in books
lists on money
lists on the side of my screen

then you have to compile the lists, which gives you more list ideas. next thing you know there is no time to do the things on the lists because your too busy listing.

organized lists. time line lists. free flow lists. to do lists. to think lists. dream lists. goal lists. not to do lists. things to think about doing lists.

listing to list
listing as escape
listing as dreaming
listing for joy
listing for love

morning

sunny spring morning.....*devilish smile, eye brows raised*
this is the kind of morning that makes me want to get in the car or on the bike and go look for an adventure.
i have a test today in CIVE, but the day feels open.
maybe i'm just feeling sassy, but i feel like I could take on the world armed with a tube of lipgloss and a full tank of gas.
crazy? maybe, but who knows maybe one day when i wake up feeling like this i'll do it.
today i'll have to settle for a small adventure that still lets me take care of the business at hand.
one day.
this summer?
the day school lets out this semester?
i have a stash for adventures right now....this is happening.
be scared. hehe
i'll be in the news for being bad ass.
get ready.
